Editorial Reviews

Guy Kettlehack

...one of several recent titles designed to give gay men easy access to health information that used to be shrouded in secrecy. Goldstone not only provides answers to a slew of questions about the sexual risks, practices, and behaviors that typically torture and befuddle gay men, but he also demonstrates a bedside (sometimes slingside) manner full of compassion and wit...The basic deal is that Goldstone is as much a warm and funny guy as he is clear and cogent medical expert. Buy this book.The Advocate

Being 16 and gay, you often wonder what is safe and what is not. And living in an area where almost everyone is homophobic, it is great to finally have a book to answer your questions without having to ask a small town doctor. I found this to be a great book on the 'do's and 'don't's rather than the 'how to' in gay sex. It is very imformative, easy to understand, and often humerous with Dr. Goldstone's stories. I recommend this book to anyone.

This book had a lot of great information about the male anatomy and STD's. This book does have some techniques but not so much.

The value of this book is that it covers a wide range of health issues for men in a manner that is easy to understand and occasionally amusing. Though it occasionally offers basic tips, it is not a book about how to have sex, as the title suggests. It is a health guide for gay men that is fairly comprehensive, whithout being overwhelming and avoids the potential pitfall of making you afraid to ever have sex again. The author focuses on issues concerning gay men and sex among men, but much of the content is relevant to male health in general and is also pertinent to straight men. This is information that your mother certainly didn't tell you and you probably didn't learn it in that high school health class either. I titled this review 'Required Reading' because it's something that every gay man should read and have on his bookshelf for reference.
